When it comes to international or domestic pet travel, ensuring the safety, comfort, and well-being of your furry companion is your top priority — and it’s ours too. At Across The Pond Pets, we specialize in making every journey as smooth and stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners. Our experienced team of pet travel experts handles every detail of the relocation process — from airline-approved crates to documentation, logistics, and government clearance.

Why Choose Across The Pond Pets for Pet Shipping?

Whether you’re shipping your pet internationally or arranging transport within the United States, choosing the right pet relocation company makes all the difference. With years of experience and a proven record of success, Across The Pond Pets has earned the trust of families, diplomats, and even military pet owners who relocate worldwide.

1. Personalized Pet Travel Plans

Every pet is unique, and so is every move. Our specialists design customized pet shipping plans that consider your pet’s breed, size, age, and temperament. We also review destination country regulations, quarantine requirements, and flight routing to ensure full compliance with international standards. This attention to detail guarantees your pet’s comfort and security every step of the way.

We also guide owners through key preparation steps such as our Pet Departure Checklist — ensuring all vaccinations, documents, and crate specifications are ready well before travel day.

2. Paperwork, Permits, and Regulations — Simplified

Pet travel involves multiple layers of documentation: import permits, USDA endorsements, health certificates, and destination country requirements. Our team works closely with USDA APHIS and other regulatory bodies to ensure everything is in perfect order before departure.

We also monitor updates from agencies such as the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to verify international entry rules for pets — helping avoid costly delays or denied entries at destination airports.

3. Safety and Comfort First

Your pet’s safety is non-negotiable. Across The Pond Pets uses airline-approved crates that meet or exceed IATA (International Air Transport Association) standards. Our transport partners maintain climate-controlled vehicles and secure loading procedures for every journey.

We help you select the correct crate model based on size and breed, ensuring your pet can stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. To verify the perfect fit, we also provide a detailed pre-departure measurement guide.

4. International Expertise You Can Trust

Our expertise spans every continent. From international pet relocation to regional U.S. pet transportation, we understand how to manage customs clearance, import documentation, and airline procedures efficiently. Whether your pet is flying to the U.K., Japan, or Australia — countries known for strict import regulations — we have firsthand experience navigating each process with precision and care.

We also handle military pet moves, offering flexible scheduling, international coordination, and specialized support for families stationed abroad. Our team respects the time-sensitive nature of deployments and ensures that military families receive priority attention.

5. Transparent Pricing and Dedicated Support

We believe in transparency — no hidden fees or surprises. Each quote includes all relevant services, taxes, and airline charges upfront. Clients appreciate our open communication and constant updates throughout the journey. You’ll receive travel confirmations, pet tracking, and even check-in photos when available.

At Across The Pond Pets, our goal is not only to move your pet but to support your family throughout the process. From start to finish, your dedicated pet relocation specialist will be your main point of contact.

6. Verified Reputation and Industry Credentials

Across The Pond Pets is a proud member of the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA), demonstrating our commitment to ethical practices and top-tier service standards. Our client testimonials reflect the same — families frequently praise our care, reliability, and professionalism.

To maintain these standards, we continuously review industry updates from trusted organizations like IATA Live Animals Regulations and U.S. Department of Agriculture resources.

Preparing for Your Pet’s Journey

Proper preparation is key to a smooth relocation experience. Before the flight, review your travel requirements with our team and explore resources like our crate guideline page and departure checklist. You’ll find step-by-step information on crate sizing, documentation, and acclimating your pet to their crate.

We also provide recommendations on diet and hydration before flight day and can arrange veterinary appointments for final health checks or endorsements.
